As an immigrant from Canada, when I was allowed to become an American citizen, the swearing-in ceremony required that we raise our right hand and swear to uphold the Constitution with all its rights and responsibilities. However, I cannot recall my children who were born here, have ever been required to do the same. They swear allegiance to the flag, but when do natural-born citizens swear to uphold the Constitution? Am I overlooking something here?
